Numbers and the Camp of Israel (with Michael Morales)

Michael Morales is the author of a two-volume commentary on the book of Numbers in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series. The first volume, on chapters 1-19, has been released. The second volume, on chapters 20-36, is forthcoming. He joins me for a discussion of the war camp of Israel in the opening chapters of the book.

We discuss the importance of the war camp within the theology of Numbers and Scripture more generally, the place of Numbers in the Pentateuch, the symbolism of the camp, and much, much more!

‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ Course

Today is the last day my forthcoming Davenant Hall ‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ course is open for (late) registration. If you are interested in taking the course, you need to act now!

Within the course we will be developing a Christian account of man and woman, in conversation with an array of diverse texts and interlocutors from several different fields and realms of enquiry, both academic and popular—philosophy, biology, the social sciences, etc.

The course follows on from previous courses I’ve taught on ‘A Biblical Theology of the Sexes’ and ‘Man and Woman in Modernity’, while also standing alone. Its goal is to show how a Christian account of the sexes can enter into receptive yet principled dialogue with other fields.

The course runs for ten weeks of two-hour classes and is open to auditors. Videos of each class will be made available to every student who signs up, but are exclusive to them. If you don’t sign up for the class, you miss the opportunity!
